First symptoms of kidney disease – what to watch for

Why kidneys are important

Kidneys filter blood, remove waste products, regulate water, salt and mineral levels, and influence blood pressure.

When damaged, serious changes can occur throughout the body – often without symptoms in early stages.

Most common symptoms of kidney disease

swelling of legs, ankles or eyelids
changes in urination – dark urine, blood, foaminess, decreased or frequent urination
fatigue and weakness – result of toxin accumulation
high blood pressure – both cause and consequence of kidney damage
pain in lower back or side – especially with infection or stones
dry skin and itching – common in chronic kidney disease

When to visit a nephrologist

We recommend a specialist examination if:

you have a family history of kidney disease
you repeatedly suffer from urinary tract infections
you have high blood pressure or diabetes
blood, protein or elevated creatinine repeatedly appear in laboratory results

Early visit to a nephrologist can significantly slow disease progression.

Process

How the examination works
at the nephrology clinic

1

Initial interview and medical history

The doctor asks about your current problems, family history and overall health.

2

Physical examination

Checking for swelling, blood pressure measurement and overall clinical condition.

3

Laboratory tests

Blood and urine to assess kidney function, inflammatory markers and electrolytes.

4

Kidney ultrasound

Painless, quick and accurate imaging of kidney structure.

Kidney disease prevention

regular blood pressure measurement
blood sugar level monitoring
adequate fluid intake
healthy diet with lower salt content
limiting use of pain medications
preventive nephrological examinations

Summary

Kidney diseases often develop unnoticed.

If you notice swelling, changes in urination, fatigue or high blood pressure, do not delay an examination with a nephrologist.

Early diagnosis is the key to effective treatment and maintaining proper kidney function.
